"Since I started making music, things have become more categorised. You've got dance music, world music, rock music, heavy metal, New Age, folk... when I started out, all these categories didn't exist. All I've really done is take bits of all the types of music that I like and make them into a long instrumental collage." ("The Break", 1992)
Mike Oldfield

"It took about two minutes to learn what it [disco music] had to teach me." (The Times, January 1999)
Mike Oldfield

"Punk is the way of those who are unable to express themselves, but they aren't dangerous; at worst, they may kill their audience."
Mike Oldfield
